Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - The cost of living in cities often coincides with the cost of tourism. If you want to visit a city, you must know the nature of living in it.

According to the report on the cost of living in all countries of the world, which is launched every year by the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), this year it included 133 countries after an analysis based on a huge amount of information and data related to the costs and prices of food, fuel and wages.

These are the ten cheapest countries in terms of cost of living:

Lusaka, Zambia

Although it is the largest city and the governmental and commercial center, living in it is very cheap for citizens, not for expatriates, who reflect the matter on them.

- Bangalore, India

It is considered the IT capital of the country but wages are low and thus the cost of living is very reasonable in a city that is going global.

Mumbai, India

It has the largest population in the country and is inhabited by millionaires, billionaires and the poor as well, in a way that makes food, transportation and housing costs cheap.

Almaty, Kazakhstan

The main reason for the decrease in costs is mainly related to housing, where apartments are available and there is a central network that controls all facilities.

- aljeria

Large population density and slums contribute to maintaining low prices in food, transportation and housing costs, according to the classification.

Chennai, India

The third Indian city on this list is a major and prosperous economic area, but a third of its population lives in slums.

- Karachi, Pakistan

The costs of living, food, transportation and entertainment are relatively low, and the rise in crime rates is one of the reasons, according to the classification.

- New Delhi, India

It is the most expensive place to live in the country, but it is one of the cheapest places to live in the world due to the cost of food and facilities added to the salary.

-Damascus, Syria

The main reason is the political instability which made the city record a low cost of living amidst the country's desolation.

- Caracas, Venezuela

The main reason for the low costs is due to the multiplicity of currency exchange rates, the impossibility of pricing and a number of economic hardships.
